Dear Govenor Barbour,
My name is Jan Morgan. I live in Starkville and was the woman who, while riding my bicycle on May 22, was hit by a car being driven by Robbie Norton.
I was in a coma for 5 weeks, on a ventilator, had chest tubes in both sides for pneumothoraces, had a cardiac…
I think it’s only right that more people know this story and...
WIS
SW: 324
LW: 242.8
CW: 241.4
Change: -1.4
I was hoping for a bit more than this, honestly, because the last half of this week I was peeing like mad. But I know that a pound and a half is nothing to sneeze at, especially considering I lost so much last week. I’m just so impatient to see the 30’s!
I got up at about 6 a.m. this morning and went for a solo bike ride. Hubby is trying...
Im-pay-shent!
I am alternately pleased with my recent new weight loss progress and incredibly impatient for it to hurry up.
I know I’ve lost over 80 pounds now but I still feel so very large. I AM still large, of course, and I’m ready to just feel normal. I’m ready to get over that plus size hump, so I could buy the majority of my clothes in normal stores, and never have to set foot in...
Happy Wednesday! The work week is officially halfway over!
I’ve had a pretty good week so far. Eating has been pretty darn awesome, although the exercise has been lacking a little bit the last couple days. However, I have started riding the light rail train into work, which builds in 40 minutes (2 miles) of walking per day.
I’ve been working at this office for over 4 years, and I...
WIS - Late Edition

CW: 242.8
Change : -6.4
This was Saturday’s weigh in, but I didn’t get an opportunity to write about it over the weekend.
I am thrilled. I have another new low weight! I’m finally putting some distance between myself and 250, and it’s sweet because it’s been so long that I’ve been stuck on this horse. I hit 250 for the first time...
Hunger and Harry Potter
What a week it’s been. I’m glad it’s Friday (but when am I not, really?) I’ve had a hard time with my diet this week. It’s shark week, which meant that about an hour after I ate anything I was already hungry again. I continue to be amazed at the power of hunger, just how much control is has over how I feel and my moods. There were lots of times at work during the...

Change: It’s complicated
I don’t normally do Weigh in Wednesdays, but today I did. And I didn’t post my weekend weigh in, not just because it was bad news, but because I just didn’t get around to it.
So here’s how it went - when we got back from our vacation I was 246.4. I didn’t weigh in for about 10 days, and when I did weigh in...
A Revelation
Guess what I finally figured out today! Bananas + My Tummy = Evil.
I used to eat bananas all the time when I was younger, but they were never my favorite fruit, so I didn’t eat them very often as an adult. I like banana bread, but the raw fruit I could take or leave. A couple of years ago, about a week after I had my lap band removed, I ate a banana. I spent the next couple of hours in...
W.I.Vacation!

Weight After Vacation: 246.2
Difference: -3.4
People! I went on vacation and lost weight! I am so happy! The secret? I didn’t set foot inside a car for a week.
Hubby and I just got back from a week long trip to Canada, where we visited Montreal, Toronto, and Niagra Falls. My brother lives in Montreal currently, and doesn’t...
